Canon ET-83C Lens Hood

Finally a lens hood that actually keeps flare out when shooting into the sun with my 100-400mm. The deep, ribbed interior feels solid and locks on tight without any wobble. Might seem like a small accessory, but it’s made a real difference in contrast on sunny days.

The petal shape of this hood perfectly matches the zoom range of my 100-400mm, cutting out flare without vignetting even at the wide end. It’s lightweight and doesn’t add much bulk to the lens when shooting in bright conditions.

The bayonet mount clicks on solidly and doesn’t wobble at all when I’m shooting handheld. I’ve left it on the lens all week and it’s already saved me from flare in a few harsh backlit shots.
